Fontaine du Fellah, Neoclassical fountain and statue near Vaneau metro station, 7th arrondissement, France.
The Fontaine du Fellah features a central figure holding two water vessels, positioned against a wall with a semicircular basin at its base.
Built in 1806 during Napoleon Bonaparte's rule, this fountain was part of a network of fifteen structures designed to distribute water from Canal de l'Ourcq.
The fountain combines Egyptian and Roman influences, with its statue modeled after Antinous, a figure discovered in Emperor Hadrian's villa at Tivoli.
Located at 52 rue de Sèvres, the fountain remained operational until 2005 when water flow ceased due to technical issues affecting the metro station.
The bronze lion head masqueron and imperial eagle at the top demonstrate the collaborative work of three distinct French artists from different periods.
